Pro tip: I finally got my mom to stop clicking phishing links
She kept falling for those fake 'Amazon delivery problem' emails. I set up a rule in her Gmail to automatically send any email with the word 'invoice' in the subject to a separate folder for me to check first. After a month, she hasn't clicked a single bad link. What other simple filters have you guys set up for family members?

Nice! Honestly, I did the same thing with "password" for my dad. It catches so many fake security alerts. He hasn't asked me about a weird email in ages.

Adding "invoice" and "payment" to the filter list works great too. It stops those fake shipping notices and PayPal scams. @kellyjones has the right idea with "urgent". My rule also blocks "action required" and "immediate attention". It's amazing how much junk that catches before it even hits the inbox.
